Description

Aeronautical Information Services Data Standardization Systems and Methods Embodiments of the present invention relate to receiving aviation data from various countries and standardizing the data into a common format for use in planning flights and/or controlling aircraft during flight. Digital aeronautical navigation data is information used by pilots and air traffic control centers before and during flight to ensure flight safety. This information may be used for planning flights, navigation (e.g., avoiding obstacles or other aircraft), and performing emergency procedures during flight. This information may include electronic maps of airports, weather information, procedures for aircraft at airports, potential hazards, and air traffic control information. Digital aeronautical navigation data, such as Aeronautical Information Services (AIS) data, is provided by Aeronautical Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) from various countries in the form of digital datasets. Although globally accepted data models and data exchange standards exist for these datasets in the form of the Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM), each country still provides its own AIS datasets in its own version or "features" of AIXM, or in completely different formats such as csv, xml, JSON, shape, etc. Currently, most known digital data sources are not used in Boeing production systems, despite their availability, as the data is still provided or published in paper formats (e.g., as part of Aeronautical Information Publications, which can be retrieved in unstructured formats such as PDF and HTML). A few exceptions are obstacle datasets known as eTOD (electronic Terrain and Obstacle Data), which are provided in digital formats by many countries and are no longer published in AIPs. In these cases, country-specific data transformation can be applied to the Jeppesen production process to map and convert the data into the USF format, which can then be loaded into the Jeppesen Obstacle Database (JODA). For all other digital sources, such as AIP data sets containing navigation data, there is currently no solution that can leverage the advantages of processing digital data sources, such as improved data quality and reduced manual interaction with the data, as user-based data verification is not required in such cases. Figure 1 illustrates an example of an aviation navigation data standardization system. FIG. 2 illustrates a flowchart of an example of a method for standardizing aviation navigation data. Figure 3 illustrates an example of a machine learning/artificial intelligence system. In addition to the summary above, the following detailed description of certain examples will be better understood when read in conjunction with the attached drawings. As used herein, elements or steps described in the singular and preceded by the indefinite article (“a” or “an”) must be understood as not necessarily excluding the plural of the element or step. Furthermore, the reference to “an example” is not intended to be interpreted as excluding the existence of additional examples that also include the described features. Moreover, unless explicitly stated otherwise, an example “having” or “having” an element or multiple elements with a specific condition may include additional elements that do not have that condition. One or more examples of the subject matter of the invention described herein provide an AIS data standardization system and method capable of examining AIS digital data sets from other countries, recognizing non-standard elements in this source data, and converting non-standard data elements into a standard format consistent with a predefined common AIXM standard format. This standardized data can then be provided to data consumers according to their data requirements, while avoiding independent and manually maintained country-specific data processing solutions. For example, the AIS data standardization system and method can operate in a fully automated manner, thereby enabling more frequent updates, larger data sets, and the like than can be handled by some currently known systems and methods. FIG. 1 illustrates an example of an aerospace navigation data standardization system (100). The standardization system (100) receives different data sets (102) (e.g., data sets (102A, 102B, 102n)) from different sources (104) (e.g., sources (104A, 104B, 104n)). In the example illustrated, the sources (104) represent different ANSPs. For instance, one source (104A) may represent an ANSP of one country (e.g., Germany), another source (104B) may represent a different ANSP of another country (e.g., the United States), and another source (104n) may represent a different ANSP of another country (e.g., France), etc. Three sources (104) are shown, but alternatively, there may be fewer or more sources (104) that provide data sets (102) to the standardization system (100). The data set (102) may include data features such as locations of navigational saf
